Full Moon

I was just trying to see if I could get

a decent photo of the full moon.

In the first shot,

a bird in flight "photo-bombed" the frame!

Of course one cannot see great detail,

and the sky is a uniform dull gray backdrop;

but the visibility of the shades

of texture that appear on the moon's surface

makes me smile in wonder.
